Anchorage, AK – Anchorage IHOP restaurants will once again offer each guest a free short stack of their famous buttermilk pancakes on National Pancake Day, Tuesday, March 4. This family-friendly tradition aims to raise needed funds and awareness for The Children’s Hospital at Providence, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on National Pancake Day between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., IHOP guests are invited to make a voluntary donation to The Children’s Hospital at Providence. Since 2006, IHOP National Pancake Day has raised more than $10 million to provide life-saving treatment, programs and medical equipment for child patients — including the 18,000 children treated annually at The Children’s Hospital at Providence.

“We are so grateful for our amazing relationship with IHOP. National Pancake Day raises much needed funds to help us provide resources we otherwise couldn’t offer, including our parent navigators, in-hospital teachers, and child life specialists,” said Kate Mohr, executive director of The Children’s Hospital at Providence. “All these positions work to support our patients and their families and to make life in the hospital as normal as possible. Thank you, IHOP, for supporting our sick and injured kids across Alaska.”
